Bangalore, India (PRWEB) June 24, 2014 -- Jigsaw Academy, the renowned online analytics training academy and Mortgage Dex, a firm that examines real estate trends, policies & financial implications that impact real estate investments are proud to announce the three finalists of the Data Analysis Competition, held for Jigsaw students.
Congrats to Finalist 1-Shyam Anadkat, Finalist 2- Parindsheel Dhillon and Finalist 3-Balaji Athreya. Also special mention to Vaishnavi Reddy. The winners will each receive a scholarship of Rs 15000, Rs 10000 and Rs 5000 respectively. The top performers in the competition will also get a chance to be interviewed for analyst roles in Mortgage Dex.
The objective of the contest was to recommend a good place/zip code to buy property based on the data at hand and was aimed at helping students strengthen their skills in data exploration, analysis and visualization. The students were initially asked to share an approach note for a sample data set. Based on this, fourteen students were invited to proceed further and submit within a ten day timeframe, a more detailed analysis of the real estate data shared with them.
The submissions were then evaluated by Jigsaw mentors and Mortgage Dex and the winners were chosen based on the depth of analysis, tools used, domain knowledge and presentation.
On receiving the submissions, Nikilesh Rao of Mortgage Dex had this to say, “This is great stuff & we see that a lot of work has been put in by students. They have approached the problem methodically and used some amazing visualizations to explain their data stories.”
“Collaborating with Mortgage Dex for this competition has been a rewarding experience. It was a great opportunity for our students to sharpen their data analysis skills and we thank Mortgage Dex and all the participants and commend them for their excellent effort,” says Gaurav Vohra, CEO of Jigsaw Academy.
